    October 2012 TOTM, Chuck "Cayman150" Thompson Build #09143

    ......October's NHTOC TOTM winner is Chuck "Cayman150" Thompson NHTOC #291 Build #09143 Congratulations Chuck......


    My family is originally from the islands but when they migrated to the USA to find work I grew up and went to school in the Miami area where they have a house and eventually went a bit further north to finish high school and attend college in the Orlando area. We always visited our family in the islands several times throughout the year and I eventually moved back to the islands when I was 21. Over the last 30+ years we all still go back and forth frequently as my parents still own the house in Miami. I learned a lot about modding these trucks during GTG’s in the Florida area that I try to attend when I can, hence I got adopted by the FHTOC brotherhood.

    My dad always enjoyed fast rides and was usually tinkering on our vehicles so I got used to it and wasn’t afraid to wrench on my own stuff. I’ve owned and built cars for drag racing and autocross/circuit racing and loved driving them in amateur competitions.

    I’m a sports junky too and enjoy playing football, softball, basketball, volleyball, soccer and tennis. Wait, my mind is playing tricks, I only actually play a couple of these now and watch the rest as my younger years are way behind me!


    Question # 1: What sparked your interests in the Harley trucks? Specifically your HD Truck?

    I actually saw the 2-tone color combo and thought that it was the sexiest looking truck I had ever seen. When I found it had a supercharger in it too I was hooked and wanted one real bad! I searched online for a month or two and tried to find the lowest mileage (3475) unmolested truck out there and just knew it had to be mine. I saw some pretty good deals on modded trucks too but knew I would enjoy doing my own mods.


    Question # 2: Any interesting stories behind the history of vehicles you've owned leading up to the HD truck or how you got it?

    I’ve had various Camaros and Firebirds for drag racing all with small block 350’s. For autocross and circuit racing, our track and club only allowed 4 bangers to keep the speeds down and safety up so I went through Toyota Corollas, Datsun 510 and a Mazda RX7 before importing a FIA Group A Peugeot 205. I enjoyed the Datsun 510 the most as it went through several engine combo’s including a monster bridge ported rotary. Hurricane Ivan ravished our island in September 2004 so I used my insurance money from my flooded out 2000 4x4 F150 to get my slightly used 2003 Harley truck.


    Question # 3: Give me a rough list of the mods that have been done to your truck. I know you've got a lot done, so you can just list your favorites if you'd like!

    Question # 4: Tell us a little about yourself. Your other hobbies, your job, your favorite past time, whatever!

    I like to do some fishing on weekends as well as catch a few sets of tennis. I enjoy growing various local fruit trees and vegetables around the yard too and have learned a little about grafting for hybrid propogation. I’ve been in I.T all my life but these days I leave the youngsters to come show me all of the really cool stuff they want to implement.


    Question # 5: You've been a member on the site for a while now, what is one of the best things you like about the site that keeps you around?

    I still love learning all I can about these trucks and helping out others who are looking to care for their baby too. The comraderie is just great and our membership is always there to help you.


    Question # 6: What is one suggestion to help make the site a better place?

    We need to think of something to get the traffic back up as it is quite slow now. Also, I’ll harp on the picture situation again too. I lost a lot of my links because Kodak stopped their online storage and sold out to Shutterfly so all my hosted pic links to Kodak are broken now.


    Question # 7: This is where I normally ask about where you decided on your screen name and any specific reason for choosing it?

    I was using it over at FordTruckWorld when I first got my 2000 F150 4x4 so I continued with it over here too.


    Question # 8: Almost at the end, what is in the future for your truck?, so what’s the next plan of attack for your trucks future?

    I had bought a Whipple for it and planned to go built but they have closed our track down here so there is nowhere to really stretch the legs anymore. I ended up selling the Whipple to another member on here. I have a friend with a Lightning who went with a fully built JLP crate long block and topped it with a KB 2.6. He has had a lot of trouble with it as he blew the tranny then put a monster box in. Then he blew the diff and had to replace that with a Detroit locker. I really like that I can just go outside and turn the key anytime I want and my baby just sits there and purrs with no trouble. I’ve kinda been there and done all that now so if our track opens up again I’ll do a purpose built race car that will be a lot easier to go fast with than this 5800 lb. sled. As it is not my DD anymore the HD basically is a garage queen except on weekends or for car shows these days. Oh, btw….you might see some of the older pics with the running boards that I got it with but I finally found a set of OEM chrome nerfs and got them on now.


    Question 9: Last and final question, just an open end question for if you had anything else you wanted to mention that I didn't have a question for...here's the place to go at it! Your web site link, a plug for something, etc. etc. whatever you want to throw in!

    Hey, life is short, so live it to your best and always make sure you really enjoy what you are doing whether it be work or play!

    and this is where I put Shamu to bed and tuck her in with her own special two-tone blankie.

    has anyone seen this truck in person? I dont think this exists in the real world. I've known this guy for a while and I know that he is skilled with a computer and is fluent with photo shop. so dont believe for a minute that something that good looking is real unless you can touch it.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks a bunch guys! This is truly a great group with a passion for these trucks. I know some will come and some will go but just the fact that you had an HD truck and shared and felt the brotherhood is a great life long memory and experience. It's a great journey!

    Thanks again to all who voted and best of luck to the future TOTM candidates.

    Thanks again guys.

    This has got to be one of the best forums on the internet as the members here are always willing to help each other and not as cut throat as some of the other sites I've visisted.

    Many thanks to Merlin for runnning TOTM and putting up with our late postings and for sending out the TOTM prize package! I just got mine!
